Template:Basketball at the 2016 Summer Olympics

Basketball at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil will be held from 6 to 21 August 2016. The preliminary and knockout matches for both men and women will be played inside the Carioca Arena 1 in Olympic Park which seats up to 16,000 spectators.

Qualification

The National Olympic Committees may enter up to one 12-player men's team and up to one 12-player women's team.

Hosts

Just as in 2012, the Olympic hosts were not guaranteed an Olympic berth. On 9 August 2015, it was announced that the Brazil men's and women's national teams would compete in the Olympic Basketball Tournament at the 2016 Rio Games after FIBA's Central Board decided to grant them automatic places at its meeting in Tokyo.[1]
